Kirk Associates LLC

Kirk Associates LLC, a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Goodyear, Arizona, delivers value engineering, risk analysis, and cost estimating services to federal agencies as a prime contractor on 88% of recent awards, with particular concentration in the Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations. The firm operates as a limited liability partnership and competes full-and-open (no set-aside designations on recent work), though it maintains a self-certified SDB status across its federal footprint. Kirk Associates has maintained a longstanding federal presence since 2003, with expertise centered on risk workshops, value engineering studies, and cost optimization for overseas diplomatic facility projects and complex federal infrastructure initiatives.

Customer concentration is extreme and concentrated in a single agency. The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations accounts for 17 of 22 prime awards and $23.3 million of the $23.4 million combined potential value across the vendor's prime footprint (92% of award count and effectively 100% of potential value). The remaining awards spread across the Department of the Interior National Park Service (4 awards) and the General Services Administration Public Buildings Service Region 8 ($25 thousand). The vendor has worked on embassy compounds and diplomatic facilities in Montevideo, New Delhi, Jakarta, Wellington, and Buenos Aires, as well as domestic federal projects including an FDA laboratory facility and park infrastructure.

Kirk Associates holds position on two primary parent vehicles, both with the State Department: a DOS Value Engineering IDIQ running 2017–2022 (12 task orders, $6.6 million combined potential value) and a successor Indefinite Delivery Contract 19AQMM22D0081 awarded September 2022 with a $10 million ceiling running through September 2027 (3 task orders, $774 thousand combined potential value). Recent representative work includes a $379,182 delivery order (awarded April 2024) for a Risk and Value Engineering Study under the current IDIQ, a $297,979 order (April 2024) for value engineering risk services on the Baghdad Fuel Farm project, and a $96,753 delivery order (August 2026) for a risk management workshop supporting the Selective Improvements Project in Buenos Aires. All work is priced firm fixed price and performed from Goodyear, Arizona.

Activity across the vendor's visible federal footprint is modest and episodic — four awards in 2022, five in 2024, and one in 2026 — with only one award facing ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months ($97 thousand potential value). As a subcontractor, Kirk Associates delivers value engineering analysis services to Stantec Consulting Services Inc. on projects supporting park infrastructure and renovation work at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Yosemite National Park, and provides design value analysis to Alpha Construction and Engineering Corporation. The SCI dataset shows minimal invoiced revenue attribution (zero dollars reported across FY2022–FY2024) and nominal FTE delivery (0.1 FTEs in FY2024–FY2025), indicating that Kirk Associates' federal services work falls largely below or outside the $150,000 SCI reporting threshold, or operates as short-duration task orders on fixed-price delivery vehicles rather than time-and-materials labor contracts.
